The only reason I can think of for connecting your PS3 to your computer is if you were transferring files (like music or videos) with FTP.


I am looking for the best way to get MLB.TV from my computer to my HDTV, Drexl. My TV does not have an internet connection.

So, I guess you need a router then. Your internet connection goes to the router, then you have ethernet cables going from that to both the PS3 and computer.

So its going to cost me like $300 just to get to the point of getting MLB.TV to my HDTV. Thats before the subscription fee. $250 for the PS3 and another $50 or so for the router.

Or just get a Roku.

Yes that is an option. MLB.TV is not available on Canadian Roku until April.

Fuck, this thread took an odd turn. I was hoping to find out MLB tv was going to be free with The Show 12 or something like that.

The baseball season basically starts in April outside of a few March games in Japan. :confused:

Roku is not available in Canada until April. I'm sure there will be some bugs to iron out when it does. Grapefruit league starts next week.

Would an HDMI cable from your computer to your TV be an option? If your video card has HDMI out, it may be worth considering if they're situated in a way that allows it.

No HDMI port on my computer. Will be trying a VGA-HDMI converter box and run that to the HDTV. VGA connects my monitor to the computer.

Just remember it will only carry the video signal to your TV so you'll have to figure out something for the audio.

The converter box has an audio port ......i'd have to use my computer speakers. I dunno if this is going to work to well..... -screwy-

The more I think about this the more I am leaning to get a PS3 and a router. Less hassle and the unknown factor is reduced. So can someone recommend a router?
